I have found the same behavior on my laptop after upgraded to 9.10. The USB drive is Maxtor OneTouch as well. Other external USB drive seem to be OK.
I also found a strange work around. If I open a terminal shell and cd to the USB Maxtor drive folder and just leave it there. Then the USB drive will stay mounted properly overnight without any problem. Hope this help shed some light. -- usb drive unmounts after a few minutes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476574 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
